Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun,according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives,and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report's key findings."the proportion (比例) who say they 'hardly ever' read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today."
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined,from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home,more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches,and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead,
parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.

答案
一.译文
根据周一出版的《常识媒体》报道,青少年和小孩阅读的乐趣越来越少。
虽然青少年读者数量在过去十年中的下降趋势十分明显,但报告中的一些数据显示,阅读仍然是许多儿童生活的重要组成部分,并指出家长如何帮助鼓励孩子更多地阅读。
根据报告的主要研究结果,“‘从来没有享受过阅读乐趣’的青少年的比例,从1984年13岁占比8%和17岁占比9%,变为现在的13岁占比22%和17岁占比27%。”
报告数据显示,2岁至8岁儿童的快乐阅读水平基本保持不变。但是,每次阅读的时间已经减少,从接近一个小时或更多到现在的接近半小时。
当谈到科技和阅读时,报告几乎没有建议父母寻找关于电子阅读器和平板电脑对阅读效果的数据。它指出,许多家长仍然限制电子阅读,主要是担心看屏幕的时间增加。
报告中最鼓舞人的数据清楚地证明,父母在阅读时可以充当他们孩子的榜样和重要指导。数据显示,与不常阅读的人相比,经常阅读的青少年家中有更多的书籍,家庭为他们购买更多书籍,他们的父母也更经常阅读,同时也会留出时间让他们阅读。
随着学期结束,学校的假期阅读清单即将下达,家长可能会借此机会介入并列出自己的暑期阅读清单,并计划全家一起去图书馆或书店。
